Pattern-shaping or patterning is a process used to create very small structures onto the wafer. It uses light to transfer geometric pattern from a photomask, the chip “blueprint”, onto the substrate. Tune in to learn about this fascinating process! Learn about pattern shaping here: https://bit.ly/3T9quk6 #semiconductors #MakePossibleABetterFuture

Plasma is used in the semiconductor industry to remove unwanted layers of materials from the surface of the wafer in a process called etching. Watch to learn how this works! More about etching here: https://bit.ly/3yNzLrb #semiconductors #MakePossibleABetterFuture

At various stages in making a chip, the surface of the wafer must be made perfectly flat (planarized). To do this, chipmakers use Chemical Mechanical Planarization or CMP. This is the story we are telling you today. Visit our website for more: https://bit.ly/3T48rfe #semiconductors #MakePossibleABetterFuture

As the UN #ClimateWeek is in full swing, it's inspiring to see how the semiconductor industry is driving the future of clean technology, powering everything from electric vehicles to renewable energy. Europe is at the heart of this transformation, leading innovation that enables a sustainable world. There’s never been a more exciting time to be part of the semiconductor revolution! #Sustainability #Semiconductors #Innovation #CleanTech #Europe

During the chip making process, atoms can precisely be deposited and removed on the wafer surface. These techniques are called selective processes. Let’s discover how they work! Visit our website for more information: https://bit.ly/4dGShAC #semiconductors #MakePossibleABetterFuture

In the semiconductor industry, we use plating to improve the chip properties. It is performed using Electro Chemical Deposition or ECD. We explain this fascinating process in this video today. Do you want to know more? Go to: https://bit.ly/3yMEQ33 #semiconductors #MakePossibleABetterFuture

In semiconductor manufacturing, we use different states of matter to create layers of materials on the wafer. One of these processes is called physical vapor deposition or PVD. With PVD, the material transitions from a solid state to a vapor phase and then back to a solid state to help form the chip. Fascinating, right?

In semiconductor manufacturing, we use crystallization to create chips. This is called epitaxy. With this process, we grow a perfect crystalline foundation layer on which to build a semiconductor device. Interested?
